Filtering table rows based on slicer values
- 2 years ago
Hi jayn123
Is this your desired output:
If so, you can achieve by doing something like as in attached file, with the help of table transformations and then relationships. Its functionality shall depend on your actual data, I usually seldom go this way, reason is if, we follow a dimensional design, most reports are achieved in a much simpler manner. But occassionaly we may have to somehow achieve the result, then attached is just one of the way.

Hope it helps.
Slicers are designed to filter your data and hence your visuals. You want to show the opposite (things that are left after the filter). This article I wrote a few years ago is not exactly what you need, but it may help you

I'm sorry, perhaps I mis-phrased myself. I don't want to show whats left out of slicer. I wanna filter/re-slice based on the results of the original slicing.
I have table:
A | B | C
1 x i8
1 y i12
2 z i10
2 q i41
2 x i99
3 y i88
If I slice A=1, I get B values x and y. Now I wan't to filter/re-slice by B values x and y, so that I have following rows as result:
A | B | C
1 x i8
1 y i12
2 x i99
3 y i88

Then add a second slicer for column B

I can't apply slicer nor filter to Column B, because I do not know what values I should filter. X and y were just examples to clarify what I'm trying to achieve. I only know what I wanna slice by Column A.

Hi,
Why do you not just straight away apply a filter on x and y?

Hi,
Given this table in which A has 2 types - Type 1 and Type 2, the result (second image) wll show all those rows in the Table visual, which have the type as 1 and 2.
Hope this helps.
PBI file attached.
